Chief Logan's Lament
I
appeal to any white man to say. if ever he entered Logan's cabin hungry, and he
gave him not meat: if ever he came cold and naked, and he cloathed him not.
During the course of the last long and bloody war Logan remained idle in his
cabin, an advocate for peace. Such was my love for the whites, that my
countrymen pointed as they passed, and said, "Logan is the friend of white man."
I had even thought to have lived with you, but for the injuries of one man.
Colonel Cresap, the last spring, in cold blood, and unprovoked, murdered all the
relations of Logan. not even sparing my women and children. There runs not a
drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me for
revenge. I have sought it: I have killed many: I have fully glutted my
vengeance: for my country I rejoice at the beams of peace. But do not harbour a
thought that mine is the joy of fear. Logan never felt fear. He will not turn on
his heel to save his life. Who is there to mourn for Logan?--Not one.
